Meat is so fucking expensive in Switzerland. 1kg of ground beef is 16 francs from the butcher. How do you cope?

would be about 10 bucks here

Stop being a fucking pussy. You are rich!

1kg ground beef here is like €10 give or take, feels like meat has cost the same all my life, basically never prohibitively expensive, but too expensive to be your daily protein

Swiss people get paid alot so its ok

blud you get paid 10k francs per month

This meme needs to stop

go vegan for the animals, the environment, our future, your spirit, and your body

20 Euros
don't bitch when you have LIDL Käsespender.

Ever thought of becoming a butcher and eatingg your own meat while overcharging other people ?

My goats and ducks seem pretty damn happy, so do my grandpas cows and pigs

Why do swiss people insist on using their domestic currency in international convos?

Stop complaining, it's twice as expensive here and that's shitty storeslop imported from Germany. Actual ground beef from the butcher is probably three times that.

you are paving the way to mass malnutrition and sickness. not being stunted and sickly is a historical aberration. the day animal products become unaffordable for the masses is the day we return to that.

plenty of healthy people are vegan and even body builders, pro atheletes etc, historically meat has been a rare food in most successful civilisations like egyptians, greeks, romans etc.
you are using them for meat and dairy?

you are using them for meat and dairy?

Yes, and eggs.

thats good you care about their wellbeing then. Pig farms and dairy farms in particular are usually vile (I have worked in both). Small farms that only need to provide for a house hold or small community is much better than these large farms where they ship live cattle to china and cause emotional distress to the animals by taking their new borns away

by buying pork; it's significantly cheaper. cheapest i can find are meatballs at €7-8/kg

I've seen the crazy dairy farms iyc, cheap butter here is made with milk coming from the other side of the planet, that's fucked up

it doubly fucked that the vast majority of farmers make more money by shipping the products so dairy and nz meat is very expensive here. whereas previously the farms would supply for locals and make everything cheap.

I thought all swisses were rich 130 IQ aryan gigachads who never svffer.

He's a moroccan living rent free because of confederation gibs

I’m in the right industry for it but I dunno

Swissbro I’m not going to get the Swiss job am I?

Not that Swissanon, but which industry do you mean? I know a lot of Americans with jobs here, in sectors including finance, pharma, chemical engineering, and management consulting. It’s worth pointing out that nearly all of them work for multinational companies and transferred in with their firms; this is without question the easiest way for an American to secure a job and residence permit here. Big multinationals are also almost the only employers here that use English as their main working language, but there are probably exceptions in tech or elsewhere.

I’ve heard of Americans being direct hires from outside, but it’s definitely not as common. The challenge with applying directly to a Swiss job from the States is that only a limited number of companies will be willing and/or able to relocate you. You’re also almost certainly going to be in line behind any EU and (obviously) Swiss applicants, who are going to be cheaper and much easier to bring on. If you’re highly qualified in something technical or uncommon, your odds are much better—there’s unmet demand for a range of specialist professionals here. But if you’re not already an unusually good candidate for jobs at home in whatever industry you’re in, it’s always going to be an uphill battle.

Good luck.

How over it is for doctors?
I'm a med student here, I speak fluent french and italian, could learn germ if needed. I'm fine with living in the countryside (I'd prefer even)

here it costs ~12 franc on sale, due to some co2 tax shit
you don't suffer

1 kg of meat from a butcher costs 4 dollars and 1kg from shop costs 6 dollars.

you are braindead have never had an original thought in your life

nutrition from a single meal of fried vegetables

I don’t eat that shit
simple as

Can you buy camel meat in kazakhstan?

Combine meat and legumes in a 1:1 ratio.

I'm calling ICE on you.

There is never a 100% correct option, killing animals is morally wrong but it has to be done, people need easy and reliable protein without needing huge acres of land for soy or what ever farming. I don't like that some farm houses have no regard for their animals and I wish all farms work with a moral concept of keeping an animal happy until it's their time, it'll slowly get there at least.

plenty of healthy people are vegan and even body builders, pro atheletes etc

Most people do not have the money for the vegan diets and the research needed for their bodies that these pros have and there are probably healthy people on vegan diets but the average vegan is not healthy. This is not the roman times and I agree that there is an overconsumption problem now but people live a lot longer now and live very different life styles.

huge acres of farmland

Animals need to be fed too, it takes far more land to produce meat than to grow human food. It literally takes more than 10x the amount of land to produce the same amount of calories of meat as of plants

don't have the money

idk what food costs are like in sri lanka but in most of the world plants are the cheapest source of calories (grains, legumes, tubers)

average vegan is not healthy

vegans have lower rates of almost all major diseases

Our ancestors relied on ärtsoppa for survival, because they couldn't afford meat. We honor their memory when we eat legumes.

Importing meat is actually illegal in Switzerland

It’s not over by any means, but if French and/or Italian are your native languages, I wouldn’t bother looking for jobs in German-speaking cantons, particularly not in the countryside—rural Swiss Germans, especially older people, rarely want to deal with non-Swiss German doctors. Francophones and Ticinese aren’t quite so fussy about this, and the French and Italian spoken here are both very close to the international standards—there are minor vocabulary differences, but it’s nothing like the divide between German and Swiss German, which gets called a dialect but is really a different language with dialects of its own. Most Germans I know here admit to being largely if not completely unable to understand Swiss German.

In order to work in any private-sector medical practice, you’ll probably have to spend time working at a public or university hospital first, but this rule varies by canton. Where I am, a German doctor friend was asked to work at a public hospital for a year before she could accept a job at a private clinic. There may also be exceptions for various specialists--I’ve seen a German endocrinologist and I know a Gernan orthopedic surgeon, both in private practice.

vegetarians maybe, but veganism is retarded. bringing up a child on a vegan diet should get you arrested for child abuse

1kg here is 8.58 francs.

come home viking man

and yeah one of my nephews was brought up this way and he unironically had anemia

Importing meat is actually illegal in Switzerland

False, but there are strict limits on quantities. If an individual brings meat in by himself, any amount over… I think it’s 1kg gets hit with ferocious import duties. And our supermarkets do stock a small amount of imported meat and poultry, usually cheaper than the domestic stuff, but it’s a very small minority of what’s available, presumably because there are limits on how much they’re allowed to import.

Why not eat rice instead?

Yeah, costs the same as beef

just eat chocolate

Not protein

Yesterday, I made curry with chicken, lentils, peas, squash, carrots, yogurt and rice.
Today, I will make tilapia with tofu, miso, peanut butter, kimchi, molasses and rice.

Thanks for the effort post swissbro, I didn't know swiss german was so different

Sorry but you Will eat the bugs

1kg limit on the meat

Buy 1kg of meat and 1kg of fish, if you rotate between meat, fish, egg and plant based protein, that is more than enough for one week, and you wouldn't get bored of eating the same thing over and over again.

post you testosterone level

Here it’s around 5.30 US dollar

Jungle beef.

higher than yours little indo, im 6'2 and have a full bass voice

What’s the difference between British and Irish beef?

18€

Would you mind sharing your curry recipe? It seems good.

Your country is really small, can't you just go to Italy or France for groceries?

I eat meat every day as a "poor" student

I haven't eaten meat in years, it's too expensive. I only eat rice/potatoes and lentils/beans.

you still probably should aim for an absolute minimum of meat, it's a very good source of iron
